Croydon Martial Art’s Kickboxing syllabus was written by Master Curtis Page. The syllabus covers a wide range of hand, leg and jumping techniques, including combinations, pad-work, set-pieces and sparring (optional).

The syllabus taught at the Academies is the same that is taught to the legendary Predators Fighting Team. The world famous Predators Elite team is made up from the best fighters from across the entire Martial Arts Association and even Team England.

Weapons

The main weapons taught at the Academies are, bo staff, kamas and nunchucku. These are tahught using tradtional Kung Fu Lau Gaur.

Self Defence

We have always said that success, even competitive success, within the Martial Arts is nothing if you are unable to effectively defend yourself in a true physical confrontation.

To that end, all of the programmes taught by the GBMAA include a practical Self-Defence curriculum. This ranges from simple block and counter drills practiced within classes, to three hour Self-Defence courses on knife defence.

Competitive Kickboxing

Welcome to the world of competitive kickboxing – At the Croydon Martial Arts Academy we offer one of the highest standards in competitive kickboxing in Croydon, with direct links into the Handsdown Predatorz Elite fight team and the opportunity to represent Team England with a host of World Kickboxing Organisations. You will have the luxury of being taught by a team with exceptional success and exeperience in competitive kickboxing.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-HYPERLINK “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-gi”gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defence. Sparring (commonly referred to as “rolling”) and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system.
